Chibitagawa

Yoyogiku Shuzo Niigata

Lychee Viscous Sugar Acidity

（私が飲んでみての感想）超高級なお酒についている栓を開けてグラスに注ぐと黄色味のお酒からはライチの様な良い香りがする。口に含むと甘酸っぱいライチの味がする。旨味を７掛けにした仙禽というのが分かりやすいだろうか。いや、常温に近くなるにつれ、甘味と米の旨味は仙禽以上である。かなり甘味が温度の上昇に連れて上がってくる。袋で吊るして滴る雫を集めた斗瓶取りらしい雑味のないきれいな酒だ。グラスから口に入れる直前に鼻に抜けるライチの香りと間髪入れずに口に含んだ際の極上の甘酸っぱい上品な米の旨味。満足出来る酒である。昨今のトレンドは、フルーティーで甘酸っぱく、低アルコールな酒が評価されるみたいです。その内の二つが当てはまった酒。蛇足だが、甘い梨と相性バツグン。甘いフルーツに合うとはビックリしました。酒の味わいのチャートと実際に飲んでみての味わいは「百光」とそっくりよく似ています。蔵元 : 代々菊醸造（上越市柿崎）アルコール度：18度原材米：山田錦精米歩合：40% 日本酒度：＋4.0 酸度：1.1 アミノ酸 : 非公表

Yesterday's report The third glass was Chibitigawa, well-balanced in taste and aroma. The local sake around Naoetsu has a strong aroma. I heard that the wells in Naoetsu have a strong golden air in the water, but I guess it changes in the manufacturing process when it comes to sake. Thank you for your hard work while thinking about the time and effort of these manufacturers.

🍢 Chibigawa I heard it is read as Chibi-bita -> chibi-ta -> oden -> 🍢, right 😆. This sake rice is also new to me. I imagined it would taste like the Midorikawa I drank earlier, but it's quite thick and robust. It's totally different from the impression on the label 💦. Since I was eating, I liked this one better with side dishes. There were two different opinions as to which one I liked better. It's fun to hear the reasons. Yeah, it's still light outside 🔆.

Mujinzou

Nagano

The next stop was the Tachibanagura Sake Brewery. The fourth photo shows an accommodation on the premises. The fourth photo shows the accommodation on the premises, which the proprietress says is operated by a different company. I bought a bottle of Mujinzou unfiltered unpasteurized sake brewed with Saku's Hitogokochi. It has a nice aroma and a dry taste. The alcohol content is 17 degrees. But it was easy to drink and delicious.

村祐酒造 Niigata

Grapefruit

Another label of the well-known "Murayusuke" (🍶) Aroma is a little subdued 😌. Good balance of sweetness and sourness 🎵 Mild and smooth on the palate with good umami ✨. A "bad" sake that you could drink all the time lol

Japanese>English

Fruity first impression. Overall, it is sweet and slightly acidic. But it is relatively refreshing and tasty.

Japanese>English

This is a sake from the Murayu brewery👍. The acidity is very attractive.

Three of my best friends from high school were on our annual golf and sake trip. This was my first time in Kochi. After golf, we were taken to Katsurahama Beach to see the statue of Ryoma. I was surprised at how big it was. Then we had a party at an elegant restaurant. I started with Izo the Manslayer. Dry sake.

I haven't been to Tosa, Kochi, a tropical island in Japan, for a long time. After mowing the lawn, I went to Shunya in town to experience Kochi culture! Before having a tatami room with the proprietress, let's have some Kochi Sake first! There are 12 kinds of Tosa sake in 300ml bottles at this store! Choose the one you are interested in and drink it! Famous for Okada Izura and Hitokiri Izura! The sake is light and dry, like a representative of Kochi sake! We didn't have any CEL24 sake here today, so let's enjoy the dry sake 😌. After mowing the lawn, we went for a walk on Katsurahama beach 🚶. extensive knowledge Sake meter: +4/ Acidity: 1.6/ Ingredients: Matsuyama Mitsui/ Rice and rice koji/ Rice polishing ratio: 70%/ Alcoholic strength: 15

Suzukabuto

Mochizuki Shuzo Shiga

Caramelized Cooled Sake

Rice with a strong flavor firm and sturdy, Suzukabuto

Japanese>English

Sake purchased at the Kisogawa Station site of the Shiga Sake Brewery Opening event. It has a thick nigori color and a heavy, gutsy mouthfeel. It felt much spicier than when I tasted it. As the description says, it is best served at room temperature or warmed. I wondered if it was the magic of the tasting. I thought so, but when I drank it at room temperature, it was close to the impression of the tasting. I could taste the sweetness, but it was basically spicy and alcoholic. I was probably drunk and buggy when I tasted it. Tastes great with soda. I felt like it would go well with pineapple when mixed with soda 🍍.

Japanese>English

The one I bought at the Kisegawa venue of the Shiga brewery opening event. It has a strong alcohol taste with a lot of gusto. It has a strong sweetness and umami of rice. It is better at room temperature, but it is also good on the rocks or with soda. After a week, it still has a strong alcoholic taste, but I think the sweetness has increased.

Jikkoku

Matsuyama Shuzo Kyoto

CherryBlossom Sugar Apple Balanced Neat Soft Flamboyant Acidity

Unlike regular Jyuseki, it seems to use a yeast called Kyo-no-Saki that produces a lot of malic acid. It doesn't say, but according to Nisshimura Sake Brewery's Instagram, it is an unfiltered sake. It is gorgeous, like rum, and a little bitter. The sweetness is moderate. Or rather spicy? The cool taste is perfect for the coming season! As the temperature rises, the appleiness comes out, but at the same time the spiciness increases. Personally, I prefer the "Jujishi" that I've had so far. I made a mistake when I drank it before, but I have to mix the Jujyoku with the sake, otherwise the lees sink to the bottom and the taste changes a lot. If you drink it with the lees mixed in, it might have a little sweetness.

Japanese>English

Kore is super pineapple, then flows with a bitter taste too 🍍. A bottle from Sumino Sake Shop's November distribution 🍶. I drank the one from the previous season, but it has a more pineapple feel to it: ⤴️ The label for the raw sake is now a fresh white base 💡. 720 mL ¥ 1,980

Then, from Kyoto, a ten stone summer sake: ❤️
